About Transcriber

Every day, a new "name" is posted to our blog. Usually the handwriting sample comes from someone's signature, but occasionally it's a name a clerk wrote in a record.

Readers are encouraged to guess as to what the name is. Usually a day after posting the image, I post the answer. Sometimes it takes a little longer, so be patient.

Use one of the links on the page to follow us and keep up!

Don't forget to come back and read the big "reveal."
